DeKalb County Superior Court Judge has dismissed a strip club's lawsuit against Doraville that sought to allow it to continue to offer nude dancing and alcohol.
The Oasis club was annexed into Doraville in December 2012 but had previously operated as an adult entertainment venue under an agreement with DeKalb County. Doraville's local laws do not allow nudity and alcohol in sexually-oriented businesses.
Owners of Oasis have said they will appeal their Constitutional challenge to the Doraville laws to the state Supreme Court.

Y'know, it seems to me that in a lot of the states it's just too stupidly easy for (a) any cluster of residents to incorporate as a chartered town/city and (b) for any such town/county to then annex county land. Can't blame them from using those tools they have legally available to do things like grab developable land, impose taxes they like, avoid taxes they don't, ban strip clubs, set up speed traps, prevent businesses they don't like from opening, etc.
